Endothelial Cell CD36 Reduces Atherosclerosis and Controls Systemic Metabolism
Front Cardiovasc Med. 2021 Nov 23;8:768481. doi: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.768481. eCollection 2021.ABSTRACTHigh-fat Western diets contribute to tissue dysregulation of fatty acid and glucose intake, resulting in obesity and insulin resistance and their sequelae, including atherosclerosis. New therapies are desperately needed to interrupt this epidemic. The significant idea driving this research is that the understudied regulation of fatty acid entry into tissues at the endothelial cell (EC) interface can provide novel therapeutic targets that will greatly modify health outcomes and advance health-related knowledge. Dysfunctional ...

Pediatric Lipid Disorders
Pediatr Ann. 2021 Mar;50(3):e105-e112. doi: 10.3928/19382359-20210218-01. Epub 2021 Mar 1.ABSTRACTCurrent scientific evidence has proven that atherosclerosis is a process that begins in childhood and tracks into adulthood, likely culminating in adverse cardiovascular events such as coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, and stroke. In addition, the obesity epidemic and increasing awareness of genetic lipid disorders has made the understanding and management of lipid disorders necessary for pediatricians. Childhood offers a unique opportunity for preventing, modifying, or eliminating risk factors and, in doing ...

Anesthetic management for robotic hysterectomy in obese women
Purpose of review Obesity is a major health epidemic, with the prevalence reaching ∼40% in the United States in recent years. It is associated with increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and gynecologic conditions requiring surgery. Those comorbidities, in addition to the physiologic changes associated with obesity, lead to increased risk of perioperative complications. The purpose of this review is to highlight the anesthetic considerations for robotic assisted hysterectomy in obese patients. Recent findings In the general gynecologic population, minima...

Potential impact of gradual reduction of fat content in manufactured and out-of-home food on obesity in the United Kingdom: a modeling study
ConclusionsA modest fat reduction (particularly in SFA) in widely consumed foods would prevent obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

The hypothalamus for whole-body physiology: from metabolism to aging
Protein Cell. 2021 Apr 7. doi: 10.1007/s13238-021-00834-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTObesity and aging are two important epidemic factors for metabolic syndrome and many other health issues, which contribute to devastating diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, stroke and cancers. The brain plays a central role in controlling metabolic physiology in that it integrates information from other metabolic organs, sends regulatory projections and orchestrates the whole-body function. Emerging studies suggest that brain dysfunction in sensing various internal cues or processing external cues may have profound effects on me...

The Endothelium as a Therapeutic Target in Diabetes: A Narrative Review and Perspective
Diabetes has reached worldwide epidemic proportions, and threatens to be a significant economic burden to both patients and healthcare systems, and an important driver of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Improvement in lifestyle interventions (which includes increase in physical activity via exercise) can reduce diabetes and cardiovascular disease mortality and morbidity. Encouraging a population to increase physical activity and exercise is not a simple feat particularly in individuals with co-morbidities (obesity, heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, and those with cognitive and physical limitations...
